my first rx-7

well i've had her for a couple weeks now. felt like posting pics. i got this car for 1800 and it's got 100k mi. the struts are gone, shifter was loose, wipers have the relay problem, cruise control doesnt work. plenty thread left on tires, sunroof works, lights work, paint has one key scratch and few dents. it's the 87 luxury trim model. good buy?







look i just mowed my lawn! and if u can tell, i just washed the 7. and my previous POS 1st gen carbed crx is sitting in front.

i'm planning on driving down to mazdatrix to look for some struts (a friend of mine told me he saw some there). the bushings were replaced by norman from sidepex (some of you know him). the wiper relays can wait, cuz from what ive seen, it looks like a pain to take it out. and it is the luxary model, i think it was icemark that cleared that up.

i already know what i have in store for her, i just need some opinions on the purchase that i made and the car.

Welcome to the family She looks tidy, hope you've got your plans sussed out. As long as it's not falling apart, it doesn't matter what it's like now, it matters what you're going to do to it (tidy it up, replace old worn out stuff), She's a beaut btw

it's in near perfect condition right now. what i'm going to do with it is get full coilovers and fix the rest of the suspension. maybe...maybe add headers/intake/exhaust. but mostly it'll be a downhill car and a daily driver...thats if i can afford the gas.
